The BEST Abilities in Mid Lane | League of Legends

[@VarsVerum]

If you're asking why I didn't mention Kassadin ult, its mana cost is extremely steep. The only reason Kass can sustain it is because of his W. Otherwise he would have to recall every time he hits 0 mana. Building this on any other champion would only allow four or five uses max. Then you're stuck with 0 mana unless you gear your abilities to restore mana, in which case you would need kass's W, which is not that great of an ability on its own. Furthermore, it forces you to buy mana items like Arcangel. The no resources clause applies to things like energy. We're assuming the champion uses mana for any mana required abilities.

this series is basically a guide for riot to create the 400 years champion

[@mrwhit8859]

Question? Can this series go into roles like assassin's, mages, tanks and fighter? I would like to see the "perfect mage" biggest problem I see is some are considered both like some are assassin/ fighters like Vi or mage supports like Ivern but you could always go into subclasses like bruiser, brawlers, enchanters and such, also ( personal opinion) mid should've been separated into mages and assassin mid laners. This current list seems like assassin's only, kats passive, zeds W and Fizz's E along with a mage/assassin Ult. Only anivias Q isn't a assassin move but a mage midlane with anivias Q veigar E/Ahri E ( that's the charm I think) Zoe W for the massive utility or Vladamirs Pool, Lissandras Ring of frost or Tfs Cards ( tf cards would be higher but the yellow card on him with the kit I've already designed would be overkill bc stun+aoe damage is already there ( anivias Q is aoe right) and gives you better options for flash,flash ahri charm. And perhaps Asol ult or Neeko ult and for a passive Veigar for scaling And if not zoe W than zoe passive which would make AA's after a spell deal bonus damage which seeing as there is a charm and stun in the kit already would make it easy to land

[@groundbeef_]

Amazing how Twisted Fate is almost always in the honorable mention; really goes to show how good TF's kit really is, especially for a mid laner.

[@ThriceOver]

With that said, the best mid laners according to the selected abilities are as follows 1. Leblanc 2. Zed 3. Twisted Fate

[@gineprogaming69piedi]

I think that both have polaryzing abilities, and their kits are balanced around them, but if you throw them in a vacuum they become broken. Leblanc has basically no passive, and her W is both her main gapcloser and her waveclear. Also she mostly needs her W and E to complete her highest damage/ranged combos, both having big downsides (W puts her in melee range/E is a really shitty skillshot). Zed has 0 point and click abilities, so he has to land multiple skillshots from different angles while doing a combo. E is kinda easy to land but has limited AoE.

[@123silverslash]

With the hypothetical champ you’ve designed, you’ve essentially only given them Anivia’s Q and Fizz’s E in terms of actual use. That’s all that Zed W, LeBlanc R, and Kat Passive can interact with. Overall, the champ lacks damage and is entirely dependent on hitting 2 W copied Flash Frosts, then an R copied one, which any Anivia player will tell you hitting just one is hard. Since the shadows can’t move, the Fizz E is really only effective for the main body. The champ is highly, HIGHLY mobile, but outside of that their CC is hard to land and their damage is much too unreliable compared to, say, regular Zed.

[@stormgaren]

[@draketurtle4169]

It’s situational at best, your choices are limited to how useful the enemy ultimates are and the one you may need could be on a long CD or out of range for you to take (maybe they are dead). Oh and Sylas is what makes other ultimates work not his ultimate, it’s basically a broken mess unless he has it. A good example of what I mean is Ekko R in spellbook, it’s super inconsistent and doesn’t work unless you have the ekko following you which you can’t guarantee it to appear unless you are ekko.

The Wording on Living Shadow i feel makes it a bit to much of an unknown factor. If it said "Mimics your non ultimate abilities" then it would be great for all the reasons you described, but because it specifies those two abilities by name, im not sure if it would translate well to other kits. It might just Mimic Zed's Q and E, which would be far weaker. I honestly think Pick a Card has it beat in synergizing with other champions kits, giving good CC, Damage, and Sustain all in one ability without having the weird wording Living Shadow does. I do agree with all your other choices though, I also find it funny both LeBlanc and Twisted Fate appear 3 times in this video.

[@jakes194]

Yassuo´s passive is also very strong i would like to mention.

[@OuhHey]

Only works for crit champs or, at least, auto attack champs with AD ratio So a Le Blanc with double crit chance and a little shield will be pointless But on any ADC, the passive will be broken + The double crit chance is because Yasuo needs defensive items, bc Yasuo is a melee dps and one of the champs that have the worst base stats in the game (490hp lvl 1)

[@luisduarte2474]

I think galio's w should be an honorable mention. Not only you passively get a magic shield scaling off your max health, once you activate it you get 40% magic damage reduction and 20% physical damage reduction at max rank and it scales off your ap AND magic resist. By the end of the charge you can deal up to 240 magic damage max rank, again scaling off your ap, leaves all enemies in that area taunted and their movement speed stays at 60 for 0,5-1,5 seconds. Although you get slowed by 15% by casting it, i think its worth for the outcome

Alright, here's my take at an annoying mid... Passive: Malzahar shield Q: Heimerdinger Turrets W: Pick a Card E: Ahri Charm R: Neeko R The idea is that you're just an unstoppable pushing machine. Anyone who comes at you gets pick a card stunned which makes all your turrets shoot a charged beam. Then you charm them, thats another beam, THEN you Neeko R, that's another beam and they're walking into you so unless they cleanse they're boned. Malzahar shield is an insanely good passive for negating burst/cc when they come to you. The idea would be to basically be super heimerdinger and anyone who tries to fight in your turrets just gets murdered.

[@TheKaratejesus]

Now... Roam God, the terror of bot lane! Passive: Kat Q: Anivia stun W: Pick a Card E: Fizz troll pole R: Destiny (TF ult) I think Zed's shadow is good but the reliability of a point and click 2 second stun that can be amplified by things like lich and RFC is too good imo. Destiny ensures you get fed every game and allows you to snowball your team to victory. League is a team game afterall and even if you're a god player on a broken champ you still have to play with your team :)

[@Danietz]

4:06 you were right not to choose veiger passive, but not for the reasons you mentioned at all. First off, Veigar passive isn't balanced out by anything: it's just plain broken. Second, it is absolutely not useless before late game, Even just 30 extra ability power can be a pretty big advantage; and Veigar usually has like at least 80 extra AP by mid to late game. No, the only reason it shouldn't be nr 1 is because you said the passives and abilities need to be compared in a vaacum, meaning they could go on any champion, and not every champ scales from ability power. THATS why it's not the best.

[@Said-uz4wz]

I think that the best w in the game is the pre-nerf akali shroud, the one that allowed you to attack enemies under towers, it is like fizz e, just that enemies can see you, and you can attack them, I would even say it was the best ability in the game. Great video, I can't really think about the other spots, but one that comes to my mind is a passive, yasuo's that will probably fit in any ad or even hybrid champ.

[@wildersovereign9013]

If mid laners with another role with a higher playrate (e.g. Renekton) were included, Morgana's Dark Binding would be one of the best Qs in the game imo. Good flat damage, huge AP ratio, super long root, could be duplicated with Living Shadow and Mimic, etc.

My list P: Brand/Seraphine: depends if you see Brand as a sup or mid, but either way 3% max health magic damage on all abilities plus mana regen if units are killed plus the ability to stack it 3 times for AoE AP scaling max health damage is just too good both for guaranteeing winning trades and destroying entire teams with all-ins. Otherwise Seraphine's passive to double an ability plus gain an empowered auto is pretty great. Q: Vel'Koz - First up, it has a very long range and unlike Xerath it requires no charging, it does a decent slow for a fairly long duration, has a nice chunk of damage, a reasonably short cooldown, can hit multiple enemies and it can be seriously problematic to dodge since it can be detonated to hit in a T, allowing you to poke around minions and stack that Brand passive nicely. Also given mana back on kill which means you'll rarely be starved of resources. W: Vlad - lazy answer would be the Zed for all the reasons mentioned in the video, however having what's essentially a better Zhonya's that's also completely free completely negates assassins, allows you to dodge skills shots, and allows tower dives and escapes. E: Neeko's root; deceptively potent, although it doesn't do the most damage, having the ability to lockdown multiple targets for potentially as long as a full Morgana's Q can be outright broken if used correctly. Ult: Ahri; makes you near-impossible to escape when at full charge as well as makes it significantly easier to escape, gives plenty of outplay potential, makes stealing objectives easier and deals damage as a nice bonus.

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

My idea is a bit more of an annoying concept. P- Veigar. Q- Morgana W- Twisted Fate E- Cassiopeia T- Teemo. An odd mix until described. This is meant to be the ultimate ramping champion, using E to stack up damage so fast, it becomes outright unfair. Using Morg Q can catch far off foesninto a Tf stun, or you can do a TF stun/slow for an easy chain CC. E spam will grant 1 ap a second against an enemy champion, makingnits usually very low damage less of an issue. TF blue card enables one to keep mana for E in lane. Then Teemo shrooms, with the passive, become nukes for wave clear and those nasty kills across the map. And what's worse? With the Q and gold card, it would be easy to catch out a foe and throw it on them with no chances to escape. And it only becomes better that Teemo ult counts as a poison. So the E naturally synergize. Funnily enough, this kit could be used bot lane at first as well thanks to its lock down and have them act as a "Kill Support" later on

[@PhantasmTirpitz]

I can agree that picking skills from mid lane would be difficult considering the fact that mid is mostly comprised of mages and assassins which have completely different playstyles. But here is mine after doing some research: Passive: Phenomenal evil power (Veigar) Poking or killing enemy champions stacks AP. Q: Baleful strike (Veigar) Last hitting minions now also stack AP. Also has decent damage. W: Nether blade (Kassadin) Higher auto attack damage and can hopefully help alleviate mana issues. E: Playful/trickster (Fizz) It Will be used for mobility and defensive purposes. Also helps close in the distance for Nether blade. R: Riftwalk (Kassadin) Can be used as a gap closer and escape. Also does a butt load of damage. Basically, a close-range high damage mage that is also very mobile. This kit does lack CC but it hopefully can make up for it by it's high damage and mobility. Although from what I've seen, Rift walk and Nether blade can obliterate most champions already and now we combine it with Veigar's infinite AP scaling.

[@d4s0n282]

a problem with it though is that scaling, even though its looks strong and all, and kass ultimate and w BOTH scale really hard with ap, I just feel other combinations is stronger but I truely love this idea lol your ap scaling on this is insanity, mid game if you dont feed you could prob one shot ez at only lv 11

[@murkel7634]

I know I am probably the only one playing karthus mid but DAMN can you imagine Karthus Q with Veigars Passive? I wish lol had draft just for that combo!

[@rockdender]

my version for support () means honorable mention for support i would use passive taric(karma,nautilus) q leona(blitz ,rakan,) w taric(senna,leona,thresh,rell) e morgana(janna,karma) r sona(leona,alistar,taric,nami) Reasons: Passive: After casting an ability, Taric's next two basic attacks within 4 seconds gain 100% total attack speed, each dealing 25 − 93 (based on level) (+ 15% bonus armor) bonus magic damage and reducing the Cooldowns of his basic abilities by 1 second Q: Leona illuminates her shield, causing her next basic attack within 6 seconds to have a 0.25-second cast time, gain 50 bonus range, deal bonus magic damage and stun the target for 1 second. Shield of Daybreak resets Leona's basic attack timer. W: PASSIVE: Taric gains bonus armor and forms a tether between him and the ally bound by Bastion. While the tether persists, the ally also gains the bonus armor and Taric's abilities are mimicked to them, though the effects do not stack. ACTIVE: Taric Hybrid shields himself and the target allied champion for 2.5 seconds, binding them with Bastion. Taric can self-cast to shield himself; if he is untethered, this will instead target the nearest ally. Only one ally can be bound at a time, and selecting a new ally overrides the previous bind. E: Morgana Hybrid shields the target allied champion or herself for up to 5 seconds, which absorbs magic damage and grants crowd control immunity while the shield holds. R: PASSIVE: Reduces the base cooldown of Sona's basic abilities. BASIC ABILITY BASE COOLDOWN REDUCTION: 10 / 25 / 40% ACTIVE: Sona plays an irresistible chord in the target direction, dealing magic damage to all enemy champions struck and stunning them for 1.5 seconds. notes: even if sona r wasnt a thing alistar r is a thing with taric w

[@swaphero6656]

I was surprised that Yasuo Windwall and Akali Shroud didn't pop up as an honorable mention.

[@joedeza9646]

Imagine having zeds w but u don't have any energy whatsoever

[@joshmccarthy7618]

I reckon that it would be kata passive, Vlad Q, Zed W, Veigar E, and Leblanc R. Not much detail here as they all were mentioned, but just imagine a w-r-q combo with this cahmp.... heals to full insinatly, and basically 100 to 0's the enemy laner.

[@botondnyitrai3128]

I think ryze's e is also a really stron ability, bcs it could give anyone a decent vaweclear as well as good dps with its low cooldown, not to mention the big presence in a teamfight where the enemy is staying close to one another.

[@DanQZ]

Unfortunately Ryze Q and W are the only things that E empowers unless we’re also counting this theoretical midlaners Q and W. But zed W doesn’t do any direct damage so the root is lost

[@frap1136]

Sylas ult not even mentioned LOL

[@goatnoodles9162]

cause it sucks in a vacuum, you cant steal ults in a vacuum, and what if the enemy is just 5 zoes

[@kelvinlo4812]

Discussion on rework might be a good topic Such as how gangplank's E turn him into one of the hardest champ from an easy champ Or why everyone thinks Warwick rework is the best rework etc. Also, the Aatrox rework might be good too because new Aatrox is a good champ but it is a bad rework. Considering he has a great kit to play with, but it is not the same Aatrox anymore.

[@andrei-cezarbleaje5519]

also fiora , the old fiora was 4/10 in terms of difficulty while the new one i would say is at least double 8/10 .

[@kelvinlo4812]

@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 Yeah, that's why discussion on rework might be a great idea

[@VarsVerum]

I got that covered don't worry :)

[@ThefirstGuardianYT]

I was waiting for yone to be on the list thank god he made it as a honorable mention best champ

[@24hourPrince]

Anivia Q just feels wrong as the choice here to me, especially when you think about how it synergizes with the rest of the given kit, I personally think that Vel'Koz, Twisted Fate, Lissandra, or Ekko would have been better choices as they aren't as slow and have lower cooldowns, not to mention better synergy with the copied abilities from Zed W and LeBlanc R, imagine trying to dodge a double Vel'Koz Q coming at you from 2 different directions. I also am curious about how Fizz E would work with Zed W, does the clone just not move, or does it also move toward your cursor?

[@_slimiy]

I think Zoe’s W is on par with Zeds W because the act of Copying Summoner Spells is really strong! And it also works with Active Items

[@marc-antoinegirard2103]

If you combine veigar's passive with anivia's ultimate you can stack phenomenal evil super fast because its ticking damage

[@GrimoireM]

For mid, I'm gonna go unorthodox, mostly because it seems fun to make a nuke like this. Passive: Veigar's Phenomenal Evil Power - Okay, fine. Nothing unusual. Q - Veigar's Baleful Strike - Totally expected, can't get the minion boost without it, alright. W - Zilean's Rewind - Wait. OH. OH NO. E - Neeko's Tangle-Barbs - NotLikeThis R - Corki's Missile Barrage - THE END COMETH I had something else in mind but I'll put it in the marksman vid. It's about as degenerate.

[@szynszylbojowy9177]

So LeBlanc has 2 of her abilities as honorable mentions and one as the best one, let that sink in

[@scarface5856]

Veigar passive Syndra q Zilean w Syndra e Vel koz ult Basically infinite ap and Syndra stuns, the vel koz ult won’t have quite its normal damage but with scaling ap it would be quite overpowered

Passive: Seraphine Q: Vladimir W: Malzahar E: Neeko R: Heimerdinger or Karma

[@VarsVerum]

Oh yeah I didn't even think about Seraphine passive. It's basically a double cast right?

[@christianhagels439]

@@VarsVerum Yea every third cast is a double cast. Also for every ability cast near allies will hit enemies with those stupid notes for a lot of extra damage

[@zoroark522]

Yeah, that was also partly why I put Malz W in there. Malz W has some pretty insane potential if paired with low CD Q/E/R. Especially if he gets some CC.

[@christianhagels439]

Are we forgetting that mobility is king and Kassadins R is one of the best in the game? Imagine his ult on literally any champ.

[@lanternno8491]

@@VarsVerum Imagine Seraphine passive, Zed's W, Le Blanc R.

[@aaa.internet7014]

I have to mention Wukong’s W over Zed’s for best W in the game. Sure you can’t use it to go over walls but it grants invis, mobility, copies your Q and R and great confusing enemies

[@carlosdumbratzen6332]

I am kind of surprised that spells like Ori Q, Vel'Koz Q or Lux Q haven't been mentioned.

[@redr844]

I’d say vlads ultimate is probs best, it’s like a stronger Ekko ult if u hit a few champs, so not only does it deal a ton of damage, but you heal a ton and anyone hit takes 10% more damage from all sources great for team fights or solo

[@thelastsepheramain6867]

I thought that Seraphine's Encore would be a honorable mention

[@christianacquasanta1472]

Actually I would go with Kata Passive Anivia Q Setup for Q by TF W (which also give infinite mana) Any damage E Any Low CD ult If you kill someone you basically get stuns 3 second worth of stuns back (plus you don't need CDR because reset)

[@ojodeoro1106]

I feel zed ult give you way more you still get a doble cast since your shadow will cast abilities on top of a gapcloser a "disappear" and an execute

@@kurtisbutrapper2484 true lol but I mean come on if I’m in the mid lane and a zed w’s it’s usually him missing it all together or being a pussy running away.

Nice video didnt rito had plans for a gamemode like this few years ago? Also for me as top main i would pick morde passiv, aatrox q, sett w, camille e and wukong ult

[@raichumelonz]

Seems like Leblanc was well designed especially for how old she is. Her passive and r used to be even more complex but they changed it shortly after her rework.
